Capitol Day
Wednesday, May 10
MRLA Headquarters Lansing Join us in Lansing for the MRLA Capitol Day to share your voice with elected officials and advocate for support for Michigan’s hospitality industry. Direct communication from you, the constituent, impacts how your legislators vote and ultimately impacts the overall political process. Legislators are more likely to act on a request when it comes directly from a constituent. It is important to continually educate legislators about our industry and the issues facing employers and business owners! |
